Started by Thandie Mwape 10 years ago

Men are paid as little as 3 pounds to have sex with children as part of tradition to initiate them into 'adulthood' in some village in Malawi. This could be happening elsewhere too. This is cruel, disgusting, heartless, barbaric and a shame and a violation of a basic human right.

This is not just about girls in that poor African country. But about you and I, first as Africans- man or woman- and you wherever you are as a human. Children are being raped and infected with deadly diseases in the name of culture. No Culture should allow these heinous crimes.

We implore the Government of Malawi to work with communities to STOP this now. This will stop others elsewhere too.

Sign this petition and save a girl, save our honour as girls, women and humans! I think we can hit a 100,000 signatures and start a lobby effort to stop this.

Enough is enough! Each tomorrow taken away from a young girl is a tomorrow that will stay painful for a lifetime.

Good going all, our small voice here is part of many voices that have condemned these acrimonious acts against children. The President of Malawi ordered that the man is arrested and all involved face investigations. We must continue to spread word to friends and family. This must abusive tradition must be abolished. Tradition and culture must protect and abuse others!
